HomeMy WebLinkAboutFacility Plan and IUP - 5/21/20181. Sumrnary, Conclusions and Recommendations
The City of Waterloo was issued a Consent Decree by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) and the State of Iowa for sanitary sewer bypasses and sanitary
sewer overflows (SSOs). The North Hackett Road sanitary lift station collects sanitary sewage
from the Northwesterly portion of SA 15 and pumps it into the Northeasterly portion of SA 15
via an 8" force main, where it is subsequently collected with other sewage from SA 15 at a lift
station located on the grounds of the National Dairy Cattle Congress (NCC).
The N. Hackett Road lift station is overloaded during wet weather and overflows to a nearby
creek that drains to the Cedar River. The City of Waterloo is concerned about this and other
SSOs in their system and proposes to correct the SSO at the N Hackett lift station. The City will
accomplish this by constructing a new sanitary sewage pumping station at the N. Hackett site to
replace the existing station, approximately 5,100' of 12" force main and approximately 9,000' of
24" interceptor sewer which will ultimately discharge to the existing 36" sewer at Black Hawk
Creek. The new N. Hackett force main will be directionally drilled under low lying areas from
the pumping station to the westerly side of the NCC and will include directionally drilled
crossings of US Hwy 218 and Greenhill Road. It will discharge to a new 24" interceptor sewer at
the NCC that will also be collecting sewage from the Forrester Avenue area on the South side of
US Highway 218 that will connect to the new 24" sewer via a new 12" crossing of US Highway
218. The existing NCC lift station and force main will also be replaced with a much smaller
system to handle the sewage generated by the immediate NCC area. The NCC pumping station
will also discharge to the new 24" interceptor sewer. All of the sewage that was previously
conveyed to the existing Conger Street 36" gravity sewer will now be conveyed to the existing
36" sanitary sewer undercrossing Black Hawk Creek. The proposed route of the NWI is shown
in Figure 3. The estimated total cost of this project is approximately $6,750,000.
The project will be constructed within existing street right -of --way, except for 6 private
easements. The City is in the process of obtaining these easements. The City is requesting State
Revolving Funds (SRF) for financing this project and will also use bond monies. It is anticipated
that construction will begin in 2018 and will be completed in 2-3 construction seasons.
The Northwest Interceptor (NWI) Sewer project will collect the sewage that currently flows to
the N. Hackett lift station, most of the remaining SA 15 area and all of the SA 16 area and
convey it to the existing 36" sanitary sewer crossing of Black Hawk Creels. The NWI route is
shown in Figure 3. The sewage collected at the NCC will not be collected by the NWI because of
elevation constraints and will continue to flow to the NCC lift station.. The NCC lift station will
be replaced with a smaller lift station as part of a future project.
The primary objectives of this project are to eliminate the sewage overflows at the N. Hackett lift
station and to re -direct the sewage from the N. Hackett and NCC areas to the South system at the
existing 36" sewer crossing of Black Hawk Creek.
